+Sometimes the subkernel execution may take more time. By default, the await function will wait forever. However, if timeout is needed it can be set, as ``subkernel_await()`` accepts an optional argument. The value is interpreted in milliseconds and if it is negative, timeout is disabled.
 
 Subkernels are compiled after the main kernel, and then immediately uploaded to satellites. When called, master instructs the appropriate satellite to load the subkernel into their kernel core and to run it. If the subkernel is complex, and its binary relatively big, the delay between the call and actually running the subkernel may be substantial; if that delay has to be minimized, ``subkernel_preload(function)`` should be used before the call.
 
 While ``self`` is accepted as an argument for subkernels, it is embedded into the compiled data. Any changes made by the main kernel or other subkernels, will not be available.

 .. note::
     When a subkernel is running, regardless of devices used by it, RTIO devices on that satellite are not available to the master. Control is returned to master after the subkernel finishes - to be sure that you can use the device, the subkernel should be awaited before any RTIO operations on the affected satellite are performed.
+
+Message passing
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Subkernels besides arguments and returns, can also pass messages between each other or the master with built-in ``subkernel_send()`` and ``subkernel_recv()`` functions. This can be used for communication between subkernels, passing additional data, or partially computed data. Consider the following example: ::
+
+    from artiq.experiment import *
+
+    @subkernel(destination=1)
+    def simple_message() -> TInt32:
+        data = subkernel_recv("message", TInt32)
+        return data + 20
+
+    class MessagePassing(EnvExperiment):
+        def build(self):
+            self.setattr_device("core")
+
+        @kernel
+        def run(self):
+            simple_self()
+            subkernel_send(1, "message", 150)
+            result = subkernel_await(simple_self)
+            assert result == 170
+
+The ``subkernel_send(destination, name, value)`` function requires three arguments: destination, name of the message that will be linked with the ``subkernel_recv()``, and the passed value. 
+
+The ``subkernel_recv(name, type, [timeout])`` function requires two arguments: message name (matching the name provided in ``subkernel_send``) and expected type. Optionally, it accepts a third argument - timeout for the operation in milliseconds. If the value is negative, timeout is disabled. The default value is no timeout. The value and declared types between the function pair with the same name must match.
